Stepping out on a limb - Wolves at Thunder GDT

[Coolbreeze44]

In today's 2+1 Cool takes a different perspective, 2 things he didn't like, and 1 he hated!

I don't think a 2 + 1 would be productive today.

Listen to what Jim is saying. You can't have one guy go off at the expense of the other two. And that definitely happened tonight. We have to play as a unit or this is going to continue.

I'm really looking forward to playing this team again. We should have a whole lot of motivation.

I guess it's bad that I'm once again looking at the distance between the Wolves and the team with worst record instead of the team with the best, right?

We are seeing some obvious weaknesses, but it's still awfully early. New coach, new players, new systems, this shouldn't be that big of a surprise to anyone. Then again, I did see the first 10 games poll - so maybe it is.

I'm not willing to give them the new coach excuse...they had a new coach last year too and won 4 of their first 6 games...all on the road. Plus they talked about how lengthy their training camp was...almost the entire team working out with Thibs and staff well before other teams started up. They've had a lot of time to learn his systems. And the starting lineup is the same 5 that finished the season at a .500 pace (except for Ricky the past three games). I'm okay with the "no Ricky" excuse the past three games, but there's no excuse for the first two awful losses.

This one might be close right now if we had led big early.

Had to try something new.

The on-court play and coaching has been abominable in the first 5 games, but Jim Peterson has been better than ever. Less homerism and more valid criticism.

And yes, we'll give you a night off from the 2+1...we're all way too crabby.

Hill must have rolled up a blunt for wiggs and zach pre-game. Surprised neither of them aren't already devouring the post-game eats in the locker room.

11 assists and 17 TOs...not going to win many games with that kind of offensive ineptitude.

I know it's early, but this is poor play of an epic proportion, and Thibs needs to send a strong Pop-like message before the next game. I wouldn't start anyone not named Karl (and he may be out injured also). Let the young guys know they aren't automatically entitled to a starting position.

KAT (if healthy)
Belly
Bazz
Rush
Tyus

And watch the young guys come in a lot hungrier...hopefully,

What has rush, tyus, Belly done to deserve to start. Bazz is the only bench player to do anything this year
